Cai Wenchuan blushed and lowered his voice to Ye Wenyu, saying, "So just now, I didn't really want to eat in the cafeteria, but if you want to eat there, then go ahead. You'll get used to it after a while." His handsome face was so red it was almost dripping blood; he was incredibly adorable.
Ye Wenyu smiled.
Cai Wenchuan blushed and whispered to her, "However, if you eat with me in the cafeteria, in a few days, these students will probably start spreading rumors that you and I are dating." His face grew redder and redder, like a ripe persimmon in autumn.
What? As if struck by lightning, Ye Wenyu froze, her chopsticks trembling as she held the food. She never imagined that having a meal with Cai Wenchuan in the cafeteria would have such a big impact! What would happen if everyone started spreading rumors that she and Cai Wenchuan were dating, and if Lin Tingfeng found out?
How could someone as authoritarian and domineering as him believe that there's nothing between her and Cai Wenchuan? If Lin Tingfeng gets angry, won't it be detrimental to Cai Wenchuan?
Therefore, Ye Wenyu's face turned pale instantly. She was originally hungry and could eat two bowls of rice, but now she had no appetite at all.
Her mind went blank, and her ears emitted a buzzing sound, as if a million bees were flying by. At that moment, the chair she was sitting on no longer seemed to be a cold dining chair in the cafeteria, but a red-hot iron plate.
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong?" Cai Wenchuan asked anxiously, looking at Ye Wenyu, whose face was as pale as a sheet of paper.
Ye Wenyu looked at him, then at the female classmates around her who were secretly taking pictures out of curiosity. Suddenly, she stood up and said stiffly to Cai Wenchuan, "Brother Wen, thank you for coming to see me today, but don't come looking for me again. Let's not see each other anymore!" After saying this, without waiting for Cai Wenchuan's reply, she hurriedly walked out of the cafeteria like a whirlwind.
The sun was shining brightly outside, spring had arrived, and the surroundings exuded a warm and bright atmosphere, but for Ye Wenyu, it felt as if she was still in winter.
Cai Wenchuan felt bewildered, not knowing what he had said or done wrong, and he quickly followed after him.
Stepping out of the cafeteria, the sunlight outside was so bright it was hard to open one's eyes. The grass in the distance was already a vibrant green, an intoxicating green that seemed like a light veil, spreading all around like brocade. Cai Wenchuan looked at the girl not far away. She was walking hurriedly, like a rabbit desperately trying to escape. In the spring sunshine, she looked like a beautiful landscape painting. However, even the girl in the painting, even her back view, revealed a heavy heart.
What happened to her? Why did she suddenly change so much? One question after another arose in Cai Wenchuan's mind.
Ye Wenyu walked quickly with her head down, her mind filled with endless worries. She didn't know what she was worried about or afraid of. Was she worried about getting hurt? Or about Cai Wenchuan getting hurt? Or about Lin Tingfeng getting hurt?
My thoughts are like a tangled mess, impossible to untangle or sort out.
Although the rumors are baseless, she and Cai Wenchuan have only met twice so far, and their relationship is innocent, Lin Tingfeng grew up in a terrible environment and suffered bullying and exploitation as a child. Would he believe it?
She had long ago discovered the dark side of his personality. The last time was just when he reunited with Cai Wenchuan after a long separation and came home a little late at night, Lin Tingfeng acted very angry, domineering and dictatorial.
Although he concealed it well in front of her, she was still worried. She was very afraid that Cai Wenchuan would become the fuse for the bomb, detonating Lin Tingfeng, this giant bomb.
Cai Wenchuan caught up with Ye Wenyu and blocked her way, his face full of confusion.
He asked her, "Xiaoyu, what happened? Why can't we meet? We grew up together. I came to find you just so I could take care of you like before—"
Hearing his words, Ye Wenyu felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and her eyes reddened. But her heart was as heavy as the earth; she was no longer the pure and innocent Xiaoyu that her brother Wen remembered.
Under the bright sunlight, Cai Wenchuan gazed at the girl before him. She had an exceptionally beautiful face, small and delicate, remarkably fair and pretty. But at this moment, her eyes were red, like a rabbit's eyes, moist like rubies, gleaming in the sunlight. Even her body seemed to tremble as if from the cold. When he looked at her, she seemed ashamed, quickly lowering her head, unable to meet his eyes.
He felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his heart.
Ye Wenyu lowered her head, took a deep breath, and then another deep breath. Once the painful emotions had passed, she raised her head and looked at Cai Wenchuan with a calm expression, saying, "It's nothing. For everyone's sake, let's not meet."
Seeing that she wouldn't give a reason, Cai Wenchuan grew impatient and asked her, "Why? Give me a reason. I'm thinking of seeing your mother. We haven't seen each other for so many years."
Ye Wenyu shook her head and said hoarsely to him, "It's better not to see her. My mother is too busy. I hardly ever see her these days." Her throat felt as if she had suddenly developed a severe throat ailment, and it was extremely painful.
The spring breeze felt like a bucket of cold water on her. The birdsong in the distance was beautiful, but she couldn't hear it; she felt as if she were still in the cold, desolate winter.
Cai Wenchuan felt something was off and asked her, "What happened? Why is your mother so busy? Logically speaking, now that you're in college, she should be very relaxed."
Ye Wenyu then realized that Cai Wenchuan probably didn't know about her mother's remarriage.
Therefore, she didn't want to say anything more.
Time has changed them; now they are as distant as people from two different worlds.
If Cai Wenchuan were to reveal that she is now homeless and her mother has remarried and no longer cares about her, he would probably be even more unable to let her go.
Therefore, she fell silent, though her eyes remained persistently red.
Her life was always shrouded in fog, a fog of uncertainty, with no clear direction for the future. Some say that beautiful women, like fog, are swept away by the wind in different directions.
Cai Wenchuan, being an exceptionally intelligent man, suddenly asked her, "Is it because of your boyfriend?"
Ye Wenyu was stunned. She glanced at him quickly, then lowered her head. Her heart was pounding wildly, as if a nest of rabbits were living in her chest. She never expected that he would guess the real reason.
Seeing Ye Wenyu's sudden panic, Cai Wenchuan relaxed and smiled at her, saying, "I think you've misunderstood. Another day, invite your boyfriend out for a meal. I'm your older brother, and I've treated you like my own sister since we were little. Now that you have a boyfriend who loves you, it's only right that I meet him. Let him come and meet your parents."
